Troubleshooting
Pots cracking or breaking
Ensure pots are not exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations, especially freezing. Handle with care when full to avoid undue stress on the material.
Difficulty drilling drainage holes
Use a drill bit appropriate for plastic. Start slowly and apply steady pressure. Consider warming the plastic slightly with a hairdryer (use caution) if the drill struggles.
